Middle Atlantic 25PC. FEB2 Master Pack - FEB2MP

Middle Atlantic FEB2MP 2RU Blank Rack Panel — 25-Pack

The Middle Atlantic FEB2MP is a 2-rack-unit blank panel for standard 19-inch equipment racks, sold in a 25-piece master pack. At just 0.08 inches deep and finished in flat black powder coat over steel, this panel closes unused rack space cleanly — blocking airflow bypass, reducing dust ingress, and giving any equipment enclosure a finished, professional appearance. If you're specifying a multi-rack AV, security, or network installation and need to fill gaps across multiple enclosures in a single order, the FEB2MP master pack is the straightforward solution.

Overview

Blank rack panels are one of those line items that rarely get attention until a deployment review flags open rack slots as a data-center or low-voltage best practice violation. Open 2RU gaps above high-heat network gear redirect warm exhaust air into intake zones — a real problem in dense security or AV racks where NVRs, switches, and amplifiers run 24/7. The FEB2MP fills those gaps with a steel panel that installs in seconds, requires no tools beyond a screwdriver, and carries a flat black finish that matches the standard Middle Atlantic rack aesthetic across the Middle Atlantic product line.

The 25-count master pack makes the FEB2MP a practical procurement choice for integrators managing rack buildouts across multiple locations or for IT teams standardizing their rack accessories inventory.

Key Features

• 2 Rack Units (3.5 in tall): A 2RU blank covers the gap left by two 1RU open slots or a single removed 2RU device. That's a meaningful amount of open face real estate to close — enough that leaving it open in a cooling-sensitive rack is a measurable risk rather than a cosmetic issue.
• Standard 19-Inch Panel Width: Fits any EIA-standard 19-inch rack enclosure without modification. No cutting, bending, or adapter hardware required — drop it in, align the mounting holes, and fasten.
• 0.08-Inch Profile Depth: At under one-tenth of an inch thick, the FEB2MP occupies virtually no depth inside the rack. In deep enclosures packed with cable management, patch panels, and equipment arms, this low profile keeps the interior clear and accessible.
• Steel Construction: The steel substrate holds its shape under the minor mechanical stress of repeated installation and removal during rack reconfigurations. Thin plastic blanks crack and warp — this panel won't.
• Flat Black Powder Coat Finish: Powder coat is more durable than paint — it resists chipping and scratching during handling. Flat black matches standard Middle Atlantic rack interiors and equipment faceplates without introducing a reflective surface that catches light in controlled-environment rooms.
• 2 Mounting Points: Two-point mounting is the standard for blank panels at this height. It seats the panel flush and keeps it from rattling — a detail that matters in audio and broadcast racks where vibration is audible, and in security operations centers where loose hardware draws unnecessary attention during inspections.
• 25-Piece Master Pack: The FEB2MP master pack ships 25 panels together, which aligns with typical multi-rack deployment quantities. Ordering by the pack reduces per-unit cost compared to single-panel procurement and eliminates reorder friction mid-installation.
• Flat Style: The flat panel style (as opposed to vented or louvered variants) is appropriate where airflow management is handled at the rack or room level rather than through the blank panel itself. Use flat blanks in actively cooled enclosures; use vented blanks only where passive convection is the cooling strategy.

Integration & Compatibility

The FEB2MP installs in any standard EIA-310 19-inch rack — including Middle Atlantic racks and enclosures, third-party relay racks, server cabinets, and open-frame racks used in network and security infrastructure. The 2RU height and dual mounting point configuration are universal. No brand-specific hardware or adapters are required. Verify that your rack's rail spacing and screw type (10-32, 12-24, or M6) match your available fasteners before installation — the panel accepts all standard rack rail thread types.

What's in the Box

This listing is for the FEB2MP master pack, which contains 25 blank rack panels. Each panel is a single steel flat blank, 2RU tall, 19 inches wide, finished in flat black powder coat. Mounting screws are not included with the panel — use your rack's standard fastener type.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What rack size does the FEB2MP fit?

A: The FEB2MP is designed for standard EIA-310 19-inch racks. The panel width is 19 inches (48.3 cm), which is the universal standard for AV, security, network, and server rack enclosures.

Q: How many rack units does the FEB2MP occupy?

A: The FEB2MP occupies 2 rack units (2RU). It stands 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) tall, which is the EIA standard for a 2RU panel.

Q: How many panels come in the FEB2MP master pack?

A: The FEB2MP master pack contains 25 blank rack panels. This is a bulk procurement SKU intended for multi-rack or multi-site deployments.

Q: Is the FEB2MP vented or solid?

A: The FEB2MP is a flat, solid (non-vented) blank panel. It is appropriate for enclosures with active cooling — where airflow is managed by the rack or room HVAC rather than through the panel itself.

Q: What material and finish does the FEB2MP use?

A: The panel is constructed from steel with a flat black powder coat finish. Powder coat is more durable than standard paint, resisting chipping and scratching through repeated installation and removal.

Q: How deep is the FEB2MP?

A: The panel depth is 0.08 inches (0.2 cm) — less than one-tenth of an inch. This minimal profile ensures the blank does not interfere with cable runs, arms, or other hardware inside the rack enclosure.
